The Hôtel d’Orrouer, also known as the Hôtel de Bauffremont, was built in 1732 in the high Regency style, and has been a French national monument since 1926. Before owning it, Givenchy had long had his eye on it. In 1986, his close friend Susan Gutfreund offered to sell him the second floor. He snapped it up, spent seven years restoring it, and then acquired the ground floor too. With its massive garden and cobblestone courtyard, the Hôtel d’Orrouer is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular private homes in Paris, hidden from the street by an imposing carved limestone wall and an oversize double door.
